Abstract: The article is based on the speec prepared by the author for International scientific and practical conference ‘Traditional culture: protection, preservation and actualization’. It describes the importance and dominating role of song in Mogilevschina folklore. Some of the songs have roots in pre-national culture and preserves elements of general Slavic songs (which, however, acquired distinguished features with time). Other songs which have been created later are a bright example of master skills, talent and people’s fantasy.
